Turns Out, US Government Is Spending MILLIONS $$$ On Global Propaganda!
The Biden regime has spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars to study and police news and information, according to a report released Friday.
OpenTheBooks, a spending watchdog, said the federal government has spent $267 million since 2021 on contracts and research grants that include the term “misinformation” in the proposals. During the Trump administration, $7 million was spent on grants involving misinformation.
That works out to a 44-fold increase in spending under President Biden in an area where even experts disagree over what constitutes so-called “misinformation” and its cousins, “disinformation” and “mal-information”.
Much of the spending under Biden went toward studying information about the covidhoax and Americans’ response to the spamdemic. Programs also included broader attempts to combat truth. One US university walked away with nearly $250,000 to construct “misinformation escape rooms” at libraries.
“Learning to think critically and discern truth from lies is an important life skill, but the federal government has proven it is not capable of addressing that need responsibly. It’s the worst possible arbiter of truth, as it were, because it makes the state a gatekeeper of speech,” the group said in its report.
OpenTheBooks examined spending dating back to fiscal 2017, which roughly coincides with the start of Mr. Trump’s first term in office.
It tallied $274 million in total spending, including less than $500,000 that first year and no more than $3 million in the subsequent three years under Mr. Trump.
Propaganda spending soared in 2021, when Biden took office, with $126 million spent — chiefly on spamdemic-clotshot related mass murder projects. It has steadily dropped but totaled $18 million in the just-ended fiscal 2024.
No wonder hundreds of millions of Americans no longer trust the State-run corporate whore propagandist media anymore.
